Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

"Everyone, look closely! This is Liu Hong, the 'Mountain-Opening Fist'! Suspected to be at the Innate Realm, he is the prime suspect in the previous prison break incident.

This matter has made it so that our entire Criminal Division can't even lift our heads. Magistrate Lin doesn't even give us a pleasant look now.

Before dusk today, I want to see this wanted poster plastered all over the streets and alleys of Qiulin County. Is that clear?"

"Clear..."

Listening to the listless replies of the constables below, Hu Dongxing's beard trembled in anger, but in the end, he didn't say anything, stomped his feet, and turned to leave.

Seeing him turn to leave, a constable looked at Li Bailin with a bitter face and said, "Team Leader Li, that's an Innate Realm expert! If that day, he hadn't been reluctant to strike us with full force, our entire team would have been finished. If this wanted poster goes out, what if he comes back for revenge?"

Li Bailin didn't respond, stroking his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

"Team Leader Li... what are you thinking about?"

Li Bailin came back to his senses and said, "Miss Zijing of the Myriad Sound Pavilion left Qiulin County a few days ago!"

Hearing this, the constable scratched his head and advised, "Team Leader, if you ask me, with your status and position, what kind of woman can't you get? That Zijing, she is..."

He paused mid-sentence, unsure how to continue.

Li Bailin glanced at him and completed his sentence.

"She is Master Shen's woman! Is that what you wanted to say?"

The constable repeatedly shook his head, but he didn't know how to explain himself.

Li Bailin chuckled and said, "Although Shen Lin has been in the limelight recently, if it really comes down to it... Hmph! I've long since gotten over the matter of that woman, Zijing."

"That's good, Team Leader. There's really no need to keep dwelling on it. How about we go blow off some steam tonight? I happen to know a place..."

"Have some ambition!" Li Bailin grunted. "The reason I'm concerned about her isn't because of love affairs, but because... don't you think the timing of her leaving Qiulin County is too coincidental?"

"Coincidental? What do you mean?"

"The flying thief in the prison was just rescued by his accomplices not long ago, and she left Qiulin County!"

The constable said in surprise, "Team Leader, are you suspecting that Miss Zijing is an accomplice of the flying thief?"

"Not an accomplice!" Li Bailin narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I suspect that she is the flying thief herself, and Cheng Yi, who was captured, is her accomplice!"

"Then what do we do? If it's really as you predicted, Team Leader, and the flying thief has already escaped, then all this effort of ours..."

Li Bailin revealed a smile and said, "Who said they all escaped? Isn't there still one person who hasn't left?"

"Who?"

"Shen Lin!" Li Bailin said with a gloomy face, "That day, when we discovered the flying thief's tracks, wasn't it Shen Lin who helped Zijing get rid of suspicion?"

Hearing this, the constable opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "But Team Leader, that Shen Lin is the Magistrate's favorite. Are we sure we want to...?"

Seeing his hesitation, Li Bailin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll investigate this matter myself. Your strength is too weak; you'll only get in the way. Recently, the master my family has been supporting came to visit. I can use this opportunity to have him help investigate."

After saying this, seeing that the people in the county office had dispersed, Li Bailin also turned and left.

When Shen Lin returned to the county office, he found the entire Criminal Division empty. He curiously went to Hu Dongxing's duty room.

Knock, knock, knock!

He knocked on the door, and immediately, Hu Dongxing's irritable voice came from inside.

"Didn't I tell you all to go out...?"

He opened the door while cursing, but when he saw that it was Shen Lin standing at the door, he immediately changed to a smiling face.

"Brother Shen is back? Quick! Come in and sit!"

Hu Dongxing invited him in. He was just about to ask someone to make tea, but he remembered that he had sent everyone out. He smacked his head and started doing it himself.

"County Constable Hu, there's no need to be so polite. I'll be leaving in a moment." After dissuading the flustered County Constable Hu, Shen Lin asked in confusion, "Where are the people in the county office?"

"I sent them all out. They can't handle anything properly day after day. They should go out and run around more." Hu Dongxing sat to the side and asked, "Speaking of which, where's Team Leader Sun? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"He's dead! He was slapped to death by the bear demon of Blackwind Fortress!"

County Constable Hu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Then you...?"

"Fortunately, my strength has improved, and I killed him in retaliation." Shen Lin shook his head.

"Alas, it's a pity about Team Leader Sun. But since you avenged him, he can rest in peace knowing it."

Shen Lin nodded, seemingly agreeing.

Rest in peace is probably a bit difficult. I guess Sun Zhi is cursing his mother under the Nine Springs right now.

Shen Lin asked, "Speaking of which, did any guests visit the county office today?"

Gao Shenghan had agreed with him yesterday to meet at the county office, but Shen Lin took a round before coming in and didn't see him.

"Guests?" County Constable Hu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't see any outsiders come. What's wrong? Did you agree to meet someone here?"

Shen Lin sighed helplessly and waved his hand. "Forget it, maybe that guy had an accident on the road and fell to his death!"

Inside a brothel in Qiulin County, Gao Shenghan hugged a beauty and sneezed after taking a sip of fine wine.

Although the other party didn't come as agreed, Shen Lin still decided to take care of Magistrate Lin's matter first.

After all, with his current strength, he should be able to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

Thinking this, he got up and asked, "County Constable Hu, I want to see the County Magistrate. I need to exchange some rewards with the Demon Suppression Division for killing some demons."

Hu Dongxing said carelessly, "Why bother Magistrate Lin with such a small matter? I'll take care of it for you. Where are the demons' corpses?"

"On the mountain!"

"Huh? Didn't bring them down?"

"I couldn't bring them down. The demons in the entire Blackwind Fortress, the number is a bit too much!"

Hu Dongxing opened his mouth wide and stood there stunned.

After a long while, after repeatedly confirming that what Shen Lin said was true, Hu Dongxing very diligently took him to the depths of the county office.

"Brother Shen, Magistrate Lin is out on business today, but don't worry, County Clerk Zhong is here. It's the same if you look for him."

Leaving the county office at this time?

I'm afraid he has already run away, right?

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes, feeling that this County Magistrate was really decisive.

Master Li disappeared for a night. The other party probably realized that something had changed and left the county office to observe the situation.

After hearing about this, Shen Lin originally planned to leave directly to find the other party's whereabouts.

But he couldn't stand Hu Dongxing's enthusiasm, and he was forcibly dragged in front of County Clerk Zhong's room.

Knock, knock, knock!

"County Clerk! This subordinate is Shen Lin, and I have something to report to you!"

Shen Lin knocked on the door and said his name softly.

Creak!

A young man opened the wooden door.

The moment he saw this person, Shen Lin was stunned in place.

Dressed in black, with a cold face, wasn't this the unknown expert who helped him drive away Master Li on the night of the prison break?
